Sketching a royal visit

Royal visit post

Sketching during a royal visit to the corn exchange in Blandford today, courtesy of the Lord Lieutenant Micheal Dooley. These sketches had to be completed very quickly as people don’t stand still for me! The king and queen were treated to a performance from Dorset opera and chatted to representatives from a variety of Dorset charities and organisations. A large crowd waited outside in the sunshine and a band played keeping everyone entertained.
